Alpinestars SuperMono v2 Racing Shoes
The Alpinestars Supermono v2 Racing Shoes are engineered for drivers who demand an exceptionally lightweight fit, precise pedal feedback, and dependable heat protection. Every component has been carefully designed to reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining the comfort, strength, and support required for competitive auto racing.
A contoured sock-style construction allows the Supermono v2 to follow the natural shape of the foot more closely than a traditional racing shoe. The streamlined design reduces bulk inside the cockpit, while strategically positioned perforations improve ventilation during demanding sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions.
The premium bovine leather upper uses a patented one-piece construction that minimizes seams and excess material. Combined with a fire-resistant elastic collar, para-aramidic lining, and Alpinestars’ thin Formula 1-derived rubber outsole, the Supermono v2 provides a secure connection between the driver and the pedals.
Ultralight Sock-Style Construction
The Supermono v2 features a sculpted, sock-like design that conforms closely to the lines of the foot. This low-profile construction reduces unnecessary material and provides a secure performance fit without creating excessive bulk around the ankle or pedal area.
Premium One-Piece Leather Upper
The main upper is constructed from premium bovine leather for an effective balance of flexibility, mechanical resistance, and driver comfort. Alpinestars’ patented one-piece upper design reduces the number of separate panels and seams, helping lower weight while improving comfort inside the cockpit.
Secure Hook-and-Loop Closure
A streamlined hook-and-loop closure provides quick and secure adjustment. A hidden instep adjustment allows the driver to fine-tune the fit across the top of the foot for improved support and reduced movement during heavy braking and rapid pedal transitions.
Fire-Resistant Sock and Lining
The elastic fire-resistant collar and tongue provide a close, comfortable fit around the ankle. A para-aramidic tubular lining offers excellent heat resistance, strength, and weight savings while maintaining the flexibility needed for precise pedal operation.
Strategic Ventilation
Perforated zones are positioned along the lateral and medial sides, front toe area, and collar to improve airflow throughout the shoe. The perforated inner gusset and breathable construction help manage heat and moisture during demanding driving conditions.
Formula 1-Derived Racing Outsole
The Supermono v2 uses Alpinestars’ exclusive thin rubber compound outsole developed from its Formula 1 racing program. The thin construction provides excellent sensitivity through the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals, while the textured surface supplies dependable grip.
Lightweight Cushioning and Support
Microporous padding surrounds the heel and footbed to improve comfort without adding unnecessary weight. A microporous heel section provides additional shock absorption, while nitrile rubber collar padding supports the ankle and improves comfort during long sessions.

The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

Single-Layer Construction, Multi-Layer Performance
The Eagle LTD is the latest iteration of the Eagle fabric and the result of over 3 years of R&D. Sparco has patented a new technology called HOCOTEX® which revolutionizes the way racing suits are made. This new exclusive Sparco technology creates a single layer fabric which has the protection of what is normally achieved by a multi-layer fabric. The Eagle LTD is FIA 8856-2018 homologated.
Unprecedented Comfort
Thanks to HOCOTEX®, the Eagle LTD is three times more breathable than a suit produced using traditional technology. The use of this relatively thinner fabric along with large side and back stretch panels and 360 degree arm gussets give the Eagle LTD ultimate flexibility and comfort. The Eagle LTD uses at new stretch material called Eagle fabric, which is lighter, more breathable, and more abrasion resistant than traditional stretch material.
Improved Fire & Heat Resistance
Traditional racing suits have layers of fabric sewn together in a quilted pattern. The quilting provides air space between the layers which bloats in a fire, this provides thermal protection to the driver. HOCOTEX® creates a honeycomb structure with internal air cells that ensure the driver even more fire protection. Traditional box quilting creates an average of 300 air chambers in a size 52 suit. The Eagle LTD has over 60,000 microcell air chambers which provide a 10 to 12% increase in heat protection performance.

Alpinestars Tech-1 KX v3 Karting Gloves | CIK-FIA Level 2

Alpinestars Tech-1 KX v3 Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 KX v3 Karting Gloves are premium performance gloves engineered for racers who prioritize lightweight steering feel, precise grip, and long-session comfort. Their dual-layer stretch construction follows the movement of the hand while minimizing unnecessary bulk between the driver and steering wheel.
A synthetic suede palm combines with strategically positioned silicone printing to deliver dependable traction and detailed steering feedback. External finger seams, pre-curved construction, ventilated sidewalls, and a 180-degree elasticated wrist create a close competition fit designed for demanding kart races, qualifying sessions, and extended practice days.
Premium Lightweight Karting Performance
The Tech-1 KX v3 uses technical construction methods intended to reduce weight without sacrificing durability or support. Its streamlined chassis allows the driver to feel steering loads and front-tire behavior without the disconnected sensation created by heavily padded gloves.
This lightweight approach is particularly useful for racers who prefer a direct connection with the wheel and make frequent, precise steering corrections throughout a session.
Dual-Layer Stretch Nylon-Cotton Construction
The main glove assembly combines stretch nylon and cotton in a flexible two-layer structure. The material conforms closely to the hand while allowing the knuckles and fingers to move naturally through repeated steering inputs.
A close fit also helps prevent loose fabric from shifting, folding, or bunching between the palm and steering wheel.
Synthetic Suede Palm
The synthetic suede palm provides a durable and consistent contact surface for the steering wheel. It balances abrasion resistance with the sensitivity required to recognize changes in steering weight, tire grip, and chassis response.
A camo-style palm treatment gives the glove a distinctive appearance while maintaining the low-profile construction expected from a high-level karting glove.
Strategically Positioned Silicone Grip
Silicone printing is applied across the palm and fingers to improve steering-wheel traction. The ergonomic pattern is positioned to support the areas of the hand that experience the greatest contact and load while driving.
The flexible print helps reduce unwanted hand movement without creating a thick or rigid layer that would interfere with steering feel.
External Seams for Reduced Pressure
External finger seams move the stitching away from sensitive areas inside the glove. This creates a smoother interior and helps prevent rubbing, pressure points, and irritation during long races.
Drivers who find conventional internally stitched gloves uncomfortable may especially appreciate the reduced seam bulk around the fingertips and finger joints.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved profile minimizes material bunching and reduces the effort required to keep the hand closed.
By allowing the hand to rest in a more natural driving position, the glove can help reduce fatigue during endurance races, repeated heats, and long testing sessions.
Breathable Finger Sidewalls
Mesh material along the finger sidewalls promotes airflow through areas where heat and perspiration commonly accumulate. Improved ventilation helps maintain comfort and keeps the glove from becoming excessively damp during warm-weather competition.
The breathable panels are integrated without compromising the close fit or flexibility of the fingers.
Touchscreen-Compatible Thumb and Index Finger
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows the driver to operate many smartphones, tablets, timing devices, and data displays without removing the gloves.
This is useful between sessions when reviewing lap times, checking schedules, recording setup changes, or communicating with the team.
180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
The cuff incorporates an elasticated wrist section extending through 180 degrees for easier entry and secure retention. The opening stretches while the glove is being put on and then contracts around the wrist once positioned.
This construction eliminates the bulk of a large external strap while helping prevent the glove from shifting during aggressive steering movements.

Tech-1 KX v3 Versus Tech-1 K v3
The Tech-1 KX v3 is positioned as the more premium and technically focused option. It emphasizes weight reduction, external-seam comfort, ventilated finger sidewalls, a synthetic suede palm, and a more advanced silicone grip layout.
The Tech-1 K v3 provides strong competition performance at a lower tier, while the KX model is better suited to drivers seeking a more refined fit, lighter feel, and greater attention to steering sensitivity.
Who Should Choose the Tech-1 KX v3?
The Tech-1 KX v3 is a strong choice for experienced club racers, national-level competitors, endurance drivers, and anyone who finds internal finger seams uncomfortable. Its lightweight construction also suits drivers who prefer direct steering feedback rather than thick palm cushioning.
Because this is an earlier-generation model, racers competing under mandatory equipment rules should inspect the glove’s physical homologation label and confirm that it meets the current requirements of their championship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tech-1 KX v3 still the current Alpinestars KX glove?No. It is an earlier-generation model that has been succeeded by the Tech-1 KX v4. The v3 can still be an excellent choice when available in the correct size and color.
Does the Tech-1 KX v3 have FIA 8877-2022 approval?Do not assume that it does based only on the model name. Check the homologation label sewn into the specific gloves and verify the accepted standard with your race series before purchasing them for regulated competition.
What makes the KX v3 more premium than the Tech-1 K v3?The KX v3 uses more technical lightweight construction, ventilated finger sidewalls, a synthetic suede palm, external seams, and a refined silicone grip pattern intended to improve comfort and steering sensitivity.
Is the palm heavily padded?No. The glove emphasizes direct steering feedback and low weight rather than substantial vibration-damping padding. Racers wanting more cushioning may prefer a thicker kart glove.
Does the silicone cover the entire palm?The silicone is strategically printed across the palm and fingers rather than forming one solid rubber layer. This provides grip while allowing the glove to remain flexible.
Will the synthetic suede palm stretch with use?The glove may settle slightly as it conforms to the hand, but it should not be purchased excessively tight. The fingers and palm should move freely from the first use.
Why are the finger seams on the outside?External seams keep bulky stitching away from the inside of the fingers, reducing pressure and irritation during long sessions.
Are these cooler than the standard Tech-1 K v3?The mesh finger sidewalls are specifically intended to improve airflow and reduce perspiration buildup. Actual comfort will still depend on temperature, session duration, and individual heat sensitivity.
Do both touchscreen fingertips work with every device?The thumb and index finger include touch-compatible printing, but performance can vary with the device, screen protector, moisture, and fingertip contact angle.
How should these gloves fit at the fingertips?The fingertips should be fully filled without painful pressure. Empty space at the ends can reduce steering sensitivity, while a glove that is too short may restrict movement and stress the seams.
Are the Tech-1 KX v3 Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Yes. Their external seams, pre-curved fingers, breathable sidewalls, and lightweight construction are well suited to extended driving sessions.
Can these gloves be used for sim racing?Yes. The silicone grip and lightweight construction can provide excellent control for sim racing, although the gloves were developed primarily for kart competition.
How should the synthetic suede palm be cleaned?Gently hand wash the gloves in cool water with mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, bleach, machine washing, and direct heat, which can damage the palm and silicone printing.
How should the gloves be stored between events?Allow them to air dry completely before placing them in a gear bag. Store them flat or loosely shaped in a cool, dry area away from heat and direct sunlight.
